Adam Mitchell scored a pair of first period goals and Jeff Smith scored one goal in the second period and another in the third as RIT won an Atlantic Hockey Association game at Tate Rink in West Point.

Josh Richards and Joe Kozlak scored for the Black Knights in the second period, making it a one-goal game.

Smith's third period goal, which came on the power play with 25 seconds left in regulation, sealed the game for RIT (8-10-4, 6-6-3 AHA).

Ryan Leets made 36 saves for Army (7-12-3, 7-7-3 AHA).

The West team won the game, 28-13, but Trent Steelman, who recently finished a four-year career as Army quarterback, scored on a 7-yard run for the East team in the third quarter of the East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Fla.
